• How is WhatsApp different from Viber? Free communication: Skype, Viber, WhatsApp and others - Gusarev Journal

    Just recently, lovers of SMS and calls spent a lot of money on communication. Mobile operator prices gradually fell. “unlimited packages” appeared, but the real blow was dealt by the so-called “messengers”. Their choice is limitless: Viber, WhatsApp, Snapchat, WeChat and others. In this article, we decided to review the leaders among instant messengers: Viber or WhatsApp - which is better?

    We will evaluate Viber and WhatsApp according to several key parameters and figure out how these messengers differ. And at the end of the article we will count the points and summarize the battle, let's begin!

    Easy registration

    Perhaps one of the strengths of both applications is their simplicity. Both development teams made sure that it was as easy as possible for people to use messengers, and this is how they won the trust of billions!)
    Both Viber and Whatsapp are tied to a mobile phone number, and there is no need for any complicated and time-consuming installation, and then filling out a large registration form. It's simple: download, install, enter your number and... use it! All the necessary contacts are already there, you don’t need to look for anyone and “add them as friends.” Score 1:1)

    Design and interface

    Whose interface is better: Viber or WhatsApp? At first glance, everything in both applications is convenient and clear. Design is a subjective matter, some people like the bright purple color and the funny cat from Viber, while supporters of a more laconic design without unnecessary frills would rather choose Whatsapp. The applications' interface is very similar to each other.


    Therefore, it’s a “draw” again, let’s be honest and give each candidate a point: 2:2

    Availability

    Officially, the Whatsapp application supports:

    • mobile phones based on Android, iPhone, Windows Phone, Nokia S40, Nokia Symbian, Blackberry.
    • computers on Windows 8 and higher and Mac

    Viber developers have released official versions for:

    • mobile phones: iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, Symbian, Nokia S40 and Bada
    • computers: Windows, Mac and even Linux
    • tablets: Android and iPad

    Yes, don’t forget that WhatsApp also has a Web version, you can use it on your tablet, because... They do not have an official application for this type of device. But still, the Viber developers took care of a larger number of platforms, for which they receive a point, the result: 3:2 in favor of Viber.

    Functional

    Both applications have:

    • Group chats,
    • Sending photos, videos, voice messages and other documents
    • Sending location,
    • Video calls: quite recently, WhatsApp was seriously lagging behind in this parameter. But the developers understand that in conditions of fierce competition they cannot hesitate and have added this function.

    Now let's talk about the differences:

    • In addition to the standard ones, it offers us funny stickers: there are both paid and free ones, they release collections for different holidays or events. This is of course not very important, but nice and fun) WhatsApp cannot boast of this.

    • Viber also pleases us with Public chats: these are public accounts. In this section you can find accounts of companies, stars, “interest groups”, etc.). There are also groups on WhatsApp, but to find them, you need to know what number they are associated with, it’s inconvenient, let’s face it.

    • Hidden chats: are you writing something very personal or secret? Put a PIN code for a specific correspondence. Comfortable? Without a doubt! WhatsApp doesn’t give us this option by default; you can, of course, protect your account, but to do this you need to install additional applications, which you don’t really want to do.
    • Games: for those who don’t know how to “kill” a lot of free time, Viber developers offer games). You can download them separately from the Store) Not very important, but it helps you relax.

    • And one more blow from the Viber developers: their users can also call regular phones, i.e. for those subscribers who do not have Viber installed. Yes, of course, you have to pay for it, but it’s a useful thing, isn’t it?

    Let's sum up the interim results: in terms of functionality, Viber becomes the undoubted leader. Score 4:2

    What is the price?


    There are no winners here from now on. Just recently, Whatsapp developers received $1 annually from each user. It seems inexpensive, but even this nominal fee was somewhat annoying for users, and then the developers made the application absolutely free. It’s nice when they take care of you) For this, each application receives 1 point, the score is 5:3.

    Safety

    Here we need to give credit to both development teams and recognize it as a draw. Security issues are given special attention in both Viber and WhatsApp. The thing is that all messages are transmitted only in encrypted form. Only the recipient has the decryption code; this is called “end-to-end encryption.” Therefore, you do not need to worry about the confidentiality of your data. Result of the battle: 6:4 in favor of Viber.

    What to choose?

    We looked at the features of each messenger and it’s time to sum it up: which is better - Viber or WhatsApp? According to the results of our review, Viber scored more points, but in reality, each application has its own fans and they give different reasons). The choice of application depends on the tasks you set for them.

    Hello, dear readers of the blog site. My name is and today I will tell you about two programs that I have been using for quite a long time on my Iphone and they have made me very happy during this time (along with).

    This Viber(or viber, viber) and whatsapp(or whatsapp, whatsapp). These are very convenient programs for communicating via messages and calls using the Internet. Moreover, all this is absolutely free.

    What is Viber? What is WhatsApp?

    Viber is a mobile application for making calls, and also sending messages, not only text, but also video, photo, audio messages. And all this is absolutely for free(you will only need to pay for the Internet, with which the application works).

    Advertisements here No, and, as the developers say, it won’t. But there is internal advertising stickers or stickers Vibera. It's very similar to stickers. A picture that expresses your emotions, to put it simply - (you can look at it). But it works simply as a notification inside the application (numbers in the tab, like on new messages in the dialogue). But let’s not blame the developer for this; at the moment, this is the only thing he makes money from at the expense of users, except for paid calls to those who do not have Viber (Viber out).

    There are also plans to release new paid features, according to Viber, but what is now free will remain so, he assures.

    whatsapp is an application very similar to Viber, but without the ability to make calls, although there are other differences, let's figure it out.

    1. The first difference is "free". Yes, for the second year of use, WhatsApp charges us as much as 0.99 USD.
    2. Whatsapp does not have calling capabilities. Even to unregistered numbers for money (as in the case of Viber out).
    3. There is no WhatsApp on PC.
    4. Viber has stickers, WhatsApp cannot boast of such.

    This is where the differences seem to end, except for the main interface colors, of course.

    I also want to add that although this is competing program, but personally I think that not mutually exclusive. I have two installed on my smartphone at once. From Viber you can free call And correspond, but from WhatsApp only exchange messages. Separately, of course, Viber is more functional, but like WhatsApp it’s much nicer, again. So it's more convenient to use them.

    Obvious advantages

    I think many, after reading the above, understood what Viber and WhatsApp give us, but still.

    1. These two applications are great savings for our budget. Now you just need to put money on your phone to pay for the Internet. And what we would have spent on communication, we can keep for ourselves.
    2. It’s very quick and convenient to exchange anything with your acquaintances and friends - videos, photos, stories.
    3. Your account is your phone number! No need for long registration, that's all contacts from your phone immediately synced with the application.
    4. Absolutely unlimited communication. “Let’s get in touch on VKontakte, otherwise it’s too expensive to talk on the phone” is a thing of the past! Talk to anyone at least 24 hours a day.

    The history of the creation of Viber and WhatsApp

    And after inspiring speeches about the advantages of these two programs, I invite you to learn about the history of their creation. I think this will be interesting to you.

    Let's start with Viber.

    There was, and still is, such a person - . It was he who founded Viber together with Igor Magazinik V 2010. After receiving a degree in computer technology and management, he went to work in Asia, where he experienced great inconvenience with communication: Skype did not support calls well, and sending SMS was too expensive. Then he came up with the idea to create Viber.

    For the first time, the product was launched in the AppStore and only in Israel. On the first day, 18 people installed it, but after three weeks, 31,000. And after Viber appeared in the global Appstore, in less than a month there were about 2 million users.

    With such wildly growing popularity, the company doesn’t even have to spend anything on promotion; people do everything themselves.

    U whatsapp another story.

    Whatsapp was created by , who was born in Ukraine, in the town of Fastov. He sold his creation. At that time he was only 36 years old. This social network bought WhatsApp for 16 billion dollars and paid another 3 billion development team in four years.

    Forbes estimated Ian's net worth at $6.8 billion. Moreover, it is very ironic that that transaction for the sale of WhatsApp took place in a white building, which was previously a social assistance center - Jan Koum came there to receive food stamps.

    Here is the happy billionaire Jan Koum himself.

    How to use WhatsApp mobile app

    Now, after the excruciatingly interesting theory, let’s try out their mobile versions in practice. For starters, whatsapp.

    So, you have downloaded the WhatsApp mobile application. Open it and see five tabs at the bottom of the screen:

    1. Favorites
    2. Status
    3. Contacts

    Let's go through each one so you understand the app and your options for using it.

    First tab - "Favorites". This is a list of contacts that you have added to your important list. You can use this tab, for example, if you have a lot of contacts, but you communicate with several of them quite often. By adding them to your favorites list, you will save yourself from a lot of others.

    Next, by going to the next tab, you can change your status. This is necessary so that your friends do not bother you with calls and messages when you are busy. You can select a status from the provided templates or, by clicking on the current status, write something of your own.

    Next are yours contacts. They automatically sync with the contacts on your phone, which is very convenient. Here, in gray, the statuses of contacts are displayed if they have WhatsApp. Also right here you can add a new contact by clicking on the plus sign at the top right.

    List in the next tab your chats. This is the history of your correspondence with any contacts. By clicking on any one, you can go to the dialogue. It is also possible to create a new dialogue by clicking on the icon with a pencil and a piece of paper in the upper right corner. Or delete the old dialogue by clicking on the “edit” button in the upper left corner of the screen. Red minuses will appear next to the dialogs; clicking on them will confirm the deletion.

    Just below the inscription change there is an inscription "Maillists". By clicking on it, you can select contacts to whom you will send the same message. This is very convenient, for example, if you want to gather your friends in some place. Send a message to everyone you need. Very fast and convenient.

    This is what the WhatsApp dialog box looks like (as in the screenshot below). On the green background on the right are your messages, on the gray on the left - your interlocutor. At the top is the contact's name and avatar (profile photo).

    Pay attention to the message dialing string. To make the keyboard appear, click on an empty space in the dialing bar. To the right of it will be a camera icon and a microphone.

    The camera opens the camera application, from where you can take a photo and instantly send it to your interlocutor. The same camera contains the latest pictures you took, and you can also send them. The microphone is voice message, hold your finger on it and speak. Your interlocutor will receive this recording and will be able to listen to it.

    There is an arrow to the left of the message dialing line. Click on it and a menu will appear. You can send to your interlocutor photo, video, location or contact. Accordingly, the first tab will allow you to take a photo directly from the application, and photo archive- these are your previously taken photos on the gadget.

    The last tab is settings. I don't recommend avoiding it. Since initially, for example, all photos in the dialogue are saved to your device, which I personally don’t really like. So let's configure the application so that it works the way we want.

    Following the first inscription "About the program" we can see the current version number of the application and also contact WhatsApp support.

    If your friend doesn’t know about WhatsApp yet, and you want to chat with him, send him an invitation message via SMS or email by clicking on "Tell a friend".

    There are also chat settings. Here you can select the wallpaper that will be displayed as the background of messages in the conversation. By going to “Media startup” you can configure what I mentioned earlier. To prevent WhatsApp from clogging up your gadget’s memory, you can disable auto-uploading of photos, audio, and so on.

    If you don’t want WhatsApp to make noise on every occasion, then turn off everything or selectively notifications in the appropriate section.

    By the way, your chats with just one click of a finger delete or perpetuate it in archive, if you scroll through the settings to the very bottom.

    Well, that's all. A simple and convenient messenger. By the way, an official opportunity recently appeared.

    How to use the Viber mobile application

    Now let's look at Viber.

    In terms of interface, it is quite similar to WhatsApp, here we only see new functions.

    There are also 5 tabs, but they are different:

    1. Challenges
    2. Contacts
    3. Public

    First - "chats"- these are dialogues with your contacts.

    There are 2 tabs at the top: All And Groups. Using Viber, you can create groups of contacts and communicate with everyone at once, like a conference.

    In order to create a group, click the purple button with the corresponding name.

    Select the contacts you need for the group and you're done.

    If you click on the gray bar that says “open keyboard,” you can dial the number manually.

    From the top you can sort them by the presence of Viber, and also add a new contact by clicking on the plus.

    The next tab is "public chats". These are group chats based on interests that you can read. It turns out something like a social network.

    In the tab "more" you can change your profile name and avatar.

    In the upper right corner, next to the profile settings, there is QR code. This is your personal code, which you can scan and see your profile, and, if desired, add you to your contacts.

    You can do this by clicking on the “scan QR code” button. A special camera will open, place the code in the square to scan it.

    Going to the section Viber Out You can top up your Viber account to make calls to numbers not registered in Viber.

    There's more here sticker shop. These are different sets of pictures that you can use when communicating on Viber. They are paid, but not all; some can be purchased for free on your computer or you can receive themed pictures during the holidays.

    From the tab you can also add contact by indicating its number or scanning the QR code.

    Now let's go to settings. They are still in the same “still”.

    IN privacy settings You can specify whether you want other users to see that you are online or that they have viewed the message.

    You can also add your contacts here "black list" and they will no longer be able to contact you via Viber. At the very bottom you can disable account.

    Can be customized notifications, which Viber will send to you.

    In the section "calls and messages" You can specify whether you want to receive incoming calls from people other than Viber users. You can also delete your entire message history or send it by mail.

    IN "media settings" You can refuse to have Viber automatically save all photos from dialogues to your device. Disable photo loading on mobile Internet, and also delete all voice messages.

    IN Screen settings You can change the background image of the dialogs, as well as the orientation of the window.

    IN general settings you can go to contact management.

    Here you can synchronize Viber contacts with your address book or icloud. Accordingly, if necessary, you can turn them off.

    IN "information" you can see the version of your application.

    Now let's go to "chat rooms" and open any dialogue.

    In the upper left corner there will be the contact's name and information about whether he is online or not. To the right there will be a telephone handset icon, by clicking on which you will instantly call the contact with whom you are conducting a dialogue, and all this is free.

    You can find a large number of programs in the app stores on iPhone and Android that offer chat and calling functions. Some of the most popular instant messengers are WhatsApp and Viber. For users who have not yet become acquainted with each of them, the problem of choice arises. The decision in favor of a particular program is usually made on the basis of an evaluation. Let's try to figure out what is better in this case.

    Comparison

    The comparison is made based on four factors: correspondence, calls, convenience and compatibility. They can be considered one of the most objective. Based on the features of WhatsApp and Viber, it will be possible to draw a conclusion.

    Correspondence

    In both applications, the correspondence functions are excellent. The chat window in both WhatsApp and Viber looks convenient and pleasing to the eye. The interface combines sharp features and smooth shapes. In both cases, the following options for adding messages are available to the user:

    • Voice messages.
    • Images and videos.
    • Contacts to add.
    • Current geolocation (determined via the Network or GPS).
    • Everyone's favorite emoticons.

    But there are some differences here too. For example, WhatsApp allows you to forward voice messages between users. And Viber also offers stickers in addition to emoticons. These are thematic pictures that look stylish.



    The application also has a drawing function. It is simple, without special editing capabilities. But you can make a caricature or explanatory sketch with its help without any problems.

    Groups are available both there and there. At this point, it’s worth highlighting Viber. It allows you to create general chats. Any user can join them, and a global search is also available. This means that you can easily find a group with similar interests. And in WhatsApp, an invitation is required to enter into general correspondence.

    Messengers are synchronized with contacts entered in the phone book on your smartphone. At this point, no significant differences can be distinguished.

    Challenges

    Many people fell in love with messengers precisely for the ability to make free calls using the Internet. The quality of communication in applications is similar, the delay is minimal. The moment of traffic consumption is also important, because for limited connections it is converted into mobile communication costs. And here, too, everything is identical.

    Video communication was not previously supported in WhatsApp. But the developers are constantly improving their application, so the feature was added in one of the updates. The image quality of messengers is at the same level.

    But in terms of calls, we can also note how Viber differs from WhatsApp. For the first one, you can make calls to regular numbers. This means that you can use it to call a landline phone, even from a computer or phone without a SIM card. There is no such option in WhatsApp.

    This function works within the Viber Out service. Calls, of course, are not free, but the established tariffs are very affordable. For example, international calls with its help will be cheaper when compared with regular mobile communications.

    Ease of use

    This point of comparison is partly subjective; all people have a different concept of convenience. Some will like the Viber interface, while others will choose WhatsApp due to its design. To fully understand the situation, it is recommended to use both applications and then make a choice.

    However, some advantages can still be highlighted:

    • Chat screen. It is still more convenient to conduct correspondence in WhatsApp, but at the same time it is necessary to note the stickers from Viber, which are not available in its competitor. With their help, it is easy to decorate any message, adding emotion to it.
    • Interface. In general, the interface of all messengers is similar, because it is difficult to come up with something original for such a program. Therefore, the difference must be sought in the details. Moreover, they may turn out to be really important. These include the ability to delete several messages at once on WhatsApp. In Viber they are erased separately.

    Compatibility

    Both applications are released for both iPhone and Android, as well as other mobile platforms. The differences between the versions are minimal; most often, they lie in the arrangement of the elements.

    There are desktop and web versions for WhatsApp. They allow you to use the messenger from any device connected to the Internet. But at the same time, the need for a phone or tablet does not disappear, because to activate it you need to scan a QR code.

    Viber is doing much better in this regard. On the website you can find stationary versions of the program for all operating systems. Their work does not involve constant synchronization with a smartphone.

    Attention! Communication between users of the same messenger is free. But it is impossible to write to a person from Viber to WhatsApp. The same limitation applies in the opposite direction. Therefore, if your loved ones already use a specific application, then choose it.

    Conclusion

    It’s impossible to say unequivocally which is better: Viber or WhatsApp. Each of the messengers has its own advantages, disadvantages and features. Some functions also differ, for example, only the first application can make regular mobile calls. Choose based on your own preferences.

    In our time, the era of social activism has almost reached its maximum in the field of mobile technology. Today, everyone has a communication device: a cell phone, smartphone, computer or tablet. Let's find out which is better Viber or Whatsapp?

    The modern world is unthinkable without these devices - computer technologies are improved every year, smartphones have become common means of communication and entertainment. Convenient programs have appeared for messaging, multimedia, and making audio and video calls.

    There is a large selection of instant messengers for transmitting text, speech and video over the Internet, for example, Skype, ICQ, Mail.Ru Agent, Viber, WhatsApp and others. Viber and WhatsApp deserve the greatest popularity on mobile devices.

    Both of these programs are very similar, they are designed to transfer data, photos and text messages over the Internet, unlike regular SMS, they do not require payment for each message if you have an unlimited Internet connection.

    What are the differences between Viber and WhatsApp?

    The WhatsApp program appeared first and was created specifically for the Nokia S40, later versions appeared for the following platforms: , Blackberry, Symbian, Asha. not possible, but it is possible to use it in browsers. WhatsApp does not allow voice calls.

    Viber appeared later; the first versions of the program were developed only for the iPhone. Currently Viber is compatible with , Blackberry, Windows Phone, Bada and other OS. from Windows or MAC. Viber is absolutely free, and if you use WhatsApp, the first year will be free, then you will have to pay one dollar per year.

    Naturally, the programs have different interfaces and colors. In Viber, which are divided into free and paid, these “toys” look beautiful, but not everyone will need them. WhatsApp has more stable call quality and less battery consumption.

    WhatsApp is also less demanding on the speed of the Internet connection, this fact is a small advantage since smartphones now use 3G and 4G technologies that provide high-speed connections, and the concept of “Internet traffic” is becoming a thing of the past.

    Functional characteristics of Viber and WhatsApp

    whatsapp

    • group communication;
    • offline information;
    • possibility of mailing to several addresses;
    • free use for the first year;
    • the ability to send photos from the camera or gallery;
    • the ability to send audio files;
    • text messaging;
    • no advertising.

    Viber

    • absolutely free program;
    • text data transmission;
    • transferring photos and videos from a device or phone camera;
    • offline messages;
    • free voice calls;
    • no advertising;
    • creating graphic doodles;
    • You can create groups of over 40 members.

    Both programs can determine the location of the owner, but Viber copes with this task better. Viber is more functionally loaded; problems may arise on early Android 2.x operating systems. WhatsApp can only work starting with Android 2.1, in which Viber surpasses its competitor in the number of compatible operating systems. Applications work perfectly in the background and consume virtually no device resources.

    Results

    In terms of security, both applications are equal and have almost the same data protection schemes, but Viber has additional protection. As a result, we see that the programs in question are not much different; there are slight differences in functionality and Viber is free. WhatsApp will appeal more to those who communicate via text messages; with Viber you can make calls and send beautiful stickers. The choice is always yours! The question of which is better than Viber or Whatsapp will always remain open.

    WhatsApp or Viber - which is more effective and convenient

    Some time ago, many mobile device users spent a huge amount of money on SMS and calls. Especially if they were made to foreign numbers. Many developers have begun to offer a wonderful alternative to the usual calls and sending messages - Skype, WhatsApp, Viber and many other instant messengers. All modern mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers and others) are a great way not only to play interesting games, watch movies and read something on the Internet.

    But do not forget about the main function of any such device - communication with relatives, friends, classmates, fellow students, and so on. It is for this reason that the Viber and WhatsApp applications are so popular, and popular among users of various operating systems and devices. Naturally, upon entering the application store, the user immediately asks the question - what is better, what to download? In fact, the principle of operation of these messengers is the same; this will be discussed a little below. But each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses.

    The interface of any application is the form in which it appears to users and how convenient it is to work with it. This also includes the design as a whole (simple or rich in numerous buttons, labels and pictures, etc.).

    WhatsApp has a simple and clear design. The developers are actively working to improve the program, so users have the opportunity to regularly install updates. You can also customize the application to your own taste, making it even simpler and easier to use. Owners of older phone models should know that WhatsApp looks simple on them. The only drawback is the not very convenient location of friends' profiles.

    In terms of interface, Viber is characterized by a unique branded design - regardless of the model of the mobile device, it looks the same everywhere. The application has only two main menus, which makes working with it easier. However, it also has a lot of features, which you will learn about below. They complicate the interface, which is why WhatsApp is better by this criterion.

    Other interface features

    • WhatsApp chat looks visually nicer;
    • at first glance, it seems that there are no significant differences, but the superiority of this application is manifested in small details;
    • The function of deleting messages here is implemented much more conveniently - you can select several messages from a chat at once, rather than deleting each one individually, as in Viber.

    The main function of managers is messaging, so the convenience and versatility of chat should be given the most attention by developers. In both applications, the chat function is implemented quite well, it is comfortable to use, and many additional functions are another plus. Some general features worth noting:

    • sending videos and photos;
    • using emoticons during communication;
    • location indication;
    • voice messages;
    • exchange of contacts.


    Chat

    Now you can focus on the unique opportunities that instant messengers offer. As for WhatsApp, it shows the time at which the message was delivered to the interlocutor, and also read by him. In addition, if the user receives a voice message, he can forward it to other contacts.

    One of the striking features of Viber is the ability to send stickers. They are large pictures and are considered analogues of emoticons, but they make the communication process even more enjoyable and interesting. As with emoji packs, there are paid and free collections of these stickers. Users can also show their creativity or express their state of mind using color drawings - choose a color and draw a picture, inscription, etc. directly on the display. After this, you can send your masterpiece of art to your interlocutor.

    The group chat function deserves special attention, since sometimes there is a need to communicate with several interlocutors at the same time. This function is provided in standard form in both one and the second application, but only in it is it possible to use the search in Public group chats. This way, you can find the conversation you're looking for, join it, and communicate with other people on a topic of interest.

    Despite the fact that these applications are called instant messengers, they also make calls, and not only based on an Internet connection. If we talk about audio calls over the Internet, then there is nothing particularly noteworthy about this function, and it is available in both programs. To call another user, you need an active Internet connection on both devices and, of course, an installed program. According to user reviews, both Viber and WhatsApp provide communication of equally good quality, and also spend approximately the same amount of traffic (if you have an unlimited tariff, this does not play a significant role).

    A significant advantage for the application is support for video calls. However, this function is available only to Viber users, and you do not need to pay anything for it. To make a call, it is enough to have a working camera on your gadget and a stable Internet connection.

    Calls to mobile and landline numbers

    However, sometimes another need arises - to make a call to a mobile number or landline without Internet access. In this case, WhatsApp will not help you in any way, since this function is available exclusively in Viber. You should also be prepared for the fact that it is not free, but in general the tariffs are not high. For example, if you want to call abroad, the best way to do this is to use the Viber Out service.

    Security and ease of use

    In this regard, both applications are approximately at the same level. After installation, they are immediately linked to the user’s phone number. Then the messenger is synchronized with the contact book available on your mobile device. For example, if one of your friends whose number is in your contacts is already using the application, then they will immediately receive a notification that you are now also in touch.

    Operating system support

    Both applications are compatible with earlier versions of iOS and . It should be noted that the programs work with the Apple platform starting from version 3.4. As for Android, Viber can be installed even on OS 2.0, and WhatsApp requires an operating system no older than 2.1.

    Now that you are familiar with the features of the applications, we can summarize. If you prefer quick messaging, but you only plan to make calls using an Internet connection, then it is better to choose WhatsApp - the program performs all the basic functions and does not overload the system. It’s another matter if the priority is video calls, calls abroad, to landlines and mobile phones - in this case, only Viber is suitable.
